Abstract
Although biographies have long been a staple in Plains Indian ethnology, this profile of an Arapaho man of renown offers something new, different, and important. Because of their unique position in the unfolding events of frontier expansion, well described in this volume, the Arapahos never received the degree of study afforded other Plains tribes, and this book is redress. Moreover, Anderson's method of reconstructing Sage's life story is particularly inventive.
